April 5, 2008 -- Kulturecafé Ludvig, Soro, Denmark

Mike Sears -a guy I have known since kindergarten (Deep Cove, N. Vancouver, Canada) came to the show with his beautiful Danish wife and newborn boy. That was a very big deal for me! wow! Thank you. Surprises are so wonderful.  I got to say “thank you Denmark” on the microphone and it felt a little sad…our last show in Denmark. Nothing to be sad about really, just the ending of a journey. It was packed, we had rehearsed a little so things were tight and still spontaneous (no set list). A shelf’s worth of cigarettes are available in the bakery here. There is a popular pizzeria in town-like every town! An automated Sun spa heated me up for a few minutes (just need coins –Danish crowns or ore). A man smoked while awaiting his wash in a Laundromat (euw!). Girls here and in all of Denmark and Sweden wear lots of different types of light fancy scarves, like an accessory fashion statement (I picked up a blue and silver one a few days back!) and we have learned a few new knots too. Guys tend to wear spiky hair styles and tight jeans. The government building and an enormous church sit majestically together in the middle of town. I noticed a pair of artsy statues in the street that I liked (see photo).  The following day, Denmark sent us off in the warming sun (which we have seen only twice in this cold & wet weather month). We took a 2 hour ferry from Denmark to Rostock, Germany. We enjoyed serendipitous customs shops, some final Danish TV and the glorious air and ocean view.
